Doctor Zaius Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 What's 43 likely to be? I know it affects everyone differently. Can't imagine Joelinton is a big drinker. Large glass and a half of wine? Three pints? It's really really poor either way. It's daft and it's dangerous but I am relieved that he's not been absolutely plastered. Big difference imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may agree or disagree. Hopefully he gets whatever help is required here There is a difference but they both have something in common, they’re both too much in my opinion.

There are reasons for it though Here’s a pretty good article - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-29755979.amp I don’t disagree with you in your thinking , and fair play for your attitude and application, but the law has its reasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I find it quite interesting the difference in attitudes between drink-driving, no matter the margin of how 'over' you are, and speeding and phone use while driving, which seem far more commonly accepted. No defence of Joe mind, he should definitely have booked a taxi and waited for his 20p change like every other professional footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE27 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Might be good if club nips it in the bud now if it's common knowledge and just state they're aware and dealing with it in house. When's he's charged release whatever punishments/training they've dished down. Disappointing to have a speed bump at such a high moment for the club. Very stupid of him to put himself and potentially any others in that position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) Absolute fucking prick, anyone driving above the legal limit and putting other lives in danger deserves the book thrown at them.

Obviously never worth driving after even one While I get that, how long do you wait ? I'm not using that to justify him by the way, just as someone who works Sunday mornings I regularly think that when I see people driving about possibly after a heavy night before thinking they've had a night's sleep and are OK.

Stifler Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Take the driving ban, pay the fine, and above all learn by it. He should not have done what he did but going his readings it doesn’t seem to indicate that he spent half a night in a pub and went home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 You'd think he's pulled out a machine gun and killed 5 people the way some people are acting. Stupid thing to do but he's human and will learn from it. Christ. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No defence of Joe mind, he should definitely have booked a taxi and waited for his 20p change like every other professional footballer. I did some very complicated calculations, and going off google he comes home with something like £6,100 a day. It seems absolutely feasible for someone like that to have a person they can pay £200 to who basically just follows them like a little lapdog for 4 hours on a night out. Get your drinks, drive you home, lie to the missus, the standard 'reliable mate' stuff, but in a nice paid slavey kind of way. You don't even have to call a taxi and talk to the BLOKE behind the wheel. Your little errand boy is already sat in your lambo waiting at the door, revving it to make you look nails, but he's sober. Job done. But it's obviously this isn't commonplace for some reason. Might be a (very limited) business opportunity for someone here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
